It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.

  • -- Benjamin Britten 本杰明·布里顿

你知道,音乐竟然如此美妙,这太残酷了。它有孤独之美,有痛苦之美,有力量之美,有自由之美。失望之美和永不满足的爱。残酷的自然美和永恒的单调之美。
